I saw my period on the 5th of march and had sex on the 19th/20th of march and took postinor 2 on the 20th of march, I took the two tablets at the same time which was 16hrs after I had sex. He used the withdrawal method tho but still used the pills incase any sperm entered. I haven't seen my period till now and am really worried, I started using yeast infection drugs on the 28th of march. Please reply me as soon as possible as am really worried.

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Postinor 2 will not effectively prevent pregnancy unless taken correctly. The second pill is supposed to be taken exactly 12 hours after the first. Since you took both the pills as the same time, there is no guarantee it will work.
Since you used the withdrawal method, that decreases your chances of pregnancy.
At this point, all you can do is wait till your next period.
If you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test.
Below I have pasted a HER article that talks about the pull-out method and pregnancy.
